The Swift Knight

In a rare reversal of typecasting, Shaw Brothers perennial bad guy Lo Lieh breaks tradition to play the honorable and noble swordsman in The Swift Knight. Similar to Danny Kayes The Court Jester without the jest, its a tale of brave knights, chivalry and fair maidens where the Swift Knight (Lo Lieh) finds himself involved in romance, court intrigue and deadly jousts while trying to protect a baby who is the Emperors secret heir apparent.
